Throwaways: Rasheed Al Rasheed
When anyone asks me who my favourite local
Filipino skater is, I always say Rasheed
Al Rasheed. He was born and raised in the
Philippines and has never been outside his country to skate.
I've been filming Rasheed for the last 5yrs and I can honestly say he is talented. If you are a skater from
Manila, you know how hard it is to progress with the limited architecture we have - Rasheed has made the best with what he's got.
He's a good guy and is always down for anything. He will never vibe or beam you. He will never steal your girlfriend or make you babysit him. He will never talk shit about you(unless you deserve it). Rasheed is Muslim and will never preach religion to you.
If you ever get a chance to see "
Sheed" skate, try talking to him - He's a down-to-earth dude who just wants
peace...
